The Possessor Returns – Chapter 10
Is it possible that behind what is taking place in America and the world lies a mystery that goes back to the gods of the ancient world…and that they now have returned?
The Return of the Gods is the most explosive book Jonathan Cahn has ever written. It is so explosive and so revealing that no description here could do it justice. Jonathan Cahn is known for revealing the stunning mysteries, many from ancient times, that lie behind and are playing out in the events of our times. But with The Return of the Gods , Cahn takes this to an entirely new level and dimension.
The Return of the Gods , Cahn takes the reader on a journey from an ancient parable, the ancient inscriptions in Sumer, Assyria, and Babylonia that become the puzzle pieces behind what is taking place in our world to this day, specifically in America. Is it possible that what we in the modern world take as nothing more than ancient mythology could actually possess a reality beyond our fathoming?
Chapter 10, the possessor returns.
How does a God of the ancient Middle East make his way into 1/20 century Western nation?
How would Bale come to America? Bail comes to America.
What would be the sign of his coming? Bale was the God of apostasy.
His mission was to take a nation that had known and been consecrated to God and turn it away from God.
A strange and alienated from the God of its foundation as bail was the chief of the other gods in Israel’s apostasy.
He would be the first in America’s apostasy and the one to lead the way for the others.
The turning of a nation away from God and to the gods often begins with the smallest of steps and an almost imperceptible shifting.
But any opening is enough for bail to get in and then push the door further ajar.
In the case of ancient Israel, it would seem a little thing to add prayers to bail alongside the worship of God to increase one’s prosperity, but it would not stay little the once and other America.
In the mid 20 th century, the majority of Western nations were still viewed as Christian or Judeo Christian and America was decidedly and proudly.
So it stood in clear opposition to Marxist ideology and the atheism of Soviet Russia and communist China.
America was a nation in which even liberal newspapers would publish summations of sermons preached throughout the city.
The previous Sunday, its leading magazines could advocate for Christian morality and Christian revival.
Its entertainment was expected to uphold biblical and Christian values and to never attack them.
And it was not a strange thing for his television stations to sign off at night with a sermonette or prayer.
It was a nation in which the majority of those on the political left and right saw themselves as sincere followers of Jesus or God and in which politicians would freely cite God and Christian values in their public discourse.
America in the mid 20th century was a nation in which Children were not only allowed to pray in public schools, but actually led in prayer by their teachers and where teachers read the word of God in their classrooms.
And it was an America that declared itself one nation under God.
It was into that nation that the spirit of bail came the ancient Amnesia.
How does the spirit come into a nation that has known of God?
The book of judges reveals how it began in the case of Ancient Israel.
They forgot the Lord, their gaunt and served the bales and Aras in the book of Jeremiah written in the last days of that apostasy, the voice of God laments over the nation’s spiritual condition.
Their fathers have forgotten my name for Bail.
The mission of Bail is to cause a nation that has known God to stop knowing Him and then to forget Him and then to forget that it ever knew Him.
The spirit of Bail caused Israel to forget the God of its foundation and become estranged from him.
By the end of the process, it could no longer remember or imagine what it was like to have known Him.
The American amnesia.
And so when Bale returns to the modern world, his mission would be the same to cause America and the West to forget its God.
How would he do that after the destruction of Israel or Samaria in 722 BC, the Bible gave a requiem for the fallen kingdom and they rejected his statutes and his covenant that he had made with their fathers and his testimonies, which he had testified against them.
They followed idols became idolaters. So they left all the commandments of the Lord, their God made for themselves a molded image and two calves made a wooden image and worshiped all the host of heaven and served bail.
The people were drawn away from the word of God, the laws of God and the ways of God.
In the case of America, Bale would use the same strategy he would first seek to separate the nation from the word and ways of God, the banishing of God.
Though the seeds of America’s turning from God can be found in earlier days.
It would become most noticeable and would achieve critical mass. In the 19 sixties.
It was at the beginning of that decade that America removed prayer from its public schools.
The act was soon followed by the banning of God’s word from the instruction of the nation’s Children.
The Bible had always been part of the American public school system from its beginnings at Massachusetts Bay.
Thus, the change was a monumental one and with regard to the spirit of Bale, a strategic one Children of Bale.
When Bale was unable to possess one generation of Israelites, he would focus on the next the nation’s Children since Children represent the future.
If he could take hold of America’s Children, he could take hold of America.
So by removing prayer and the word from the education of America’s Children, he was weakening the transmission of faith to the next generation.
He could then separate the entire nation from prayer from the word and from faith by causing God’s ways to become alien to the nation’s Children.
He could cause the alienation of America from God, the bail of America.
Bale’s American agenda was not limited to its school system. It would permeate every sphere of American culture.
Its major newspapers would no longer publish summations of the past Sunday sermons.
Its leading magazines would no longer endorse Christian values. Its entertainment would no longer uphold biblical morality.
Its politicians would speak less openly of Christian values and its television stations would no longer promote prayer or present the ways of God in a positive light but would now war against them, praying to God or mentioning the name of Jesus in the public square would be increasingly viewed with hostility.
The nation was becoming increasingly alienated from the ways of God, A war of tablets, the law that God gave Israel was a safeguard against the gods and the ways of paganism.
The very first of the 10 commandments was you shall have no other gods before me.
So for bail to gain possession of Israel, he had to separate the people from the law of God.
And as it was summed up the 10 commandments, the writer of second kings confirms what happened.
So they left all the commandments of the Lord, their God, the 10 commandments and the law were also at the foundation of Western civilization.
In the case of America, they were specifically cited as the cornerstone on which the new society was to be built.
So for bail to gain possession of America, he would do just as he did to ancient Israel, he would cause them to put away the 10 commandments and depart from the ways of God.
So in 1980 the Supreme Court ruled that it was no longer legal to display the 10 commandments in public schools, they were what the American school system had once taught and lifted up as the nation’s moral foundation.
Now, it was illegal to even make them visible in public.
But the conflict would not end in the halls of America’s public schools.
The nation would strike down the 10 Commandments.
More than once the 10 commandments would come under governmental judgment and to be banished from the public square, the schizophrenic nation bail had turned Israel in upon itself.
He caused the nation to war against its own foundation.
His fingerprints could now be seen on an America at war with its own foundation.
The fingerprints of the ancient God could be seen in the Supreme Court which had ruled against the display of the 10 commandments and yet displayed the 10 commandments on its very walls.
They could be seen in the presidential inauguration as the president elect placed his hand on the Bible to swear the presidential oath and then upon becoming president enacted laws and policies that war against the ways of the Bible upon which he swore they could be seen in the nation’s school system which instructed the nation’s Children against the very ways for which that school system had come into existence and they could be seen on the nation’s currency which was increasingly used to eradicate God’s presence and ways from American public life and upon which were written, the words in God, we trust Bale had done to America as he had done to Israel.
He turned it in against itself. It had become as had ancient Israel a civilization in spiritual schizophrenia.
The end of Christian America, since the word and law of God served as safeguards against the gods and paganism.
Their removal opened the door for the gods to come in.
Unhindered America had removed from public view, the commandments against worshiping other gods.
Now it could do so, it had removed the commandments forbidding sexual immorality. Now it could embrace it.
It could now indulge in all that the commandments had warned against.
Once the word of God was removed, there was nothing left to hold back. The nation’s fall.
No absolute standard. The guard rails were down, there was now nothing to stop. What would soon follow.
The nation was left wide open to the subjection and Dominion of the gods.
The America, where prayer and God’s word were imparted to its Children where scripture was revered in its media and culture and where the ways and precepts of God informed its laws and national policies and were proclaimed in the public square was no more observers would now write of the end of Christian America bail had succeeded.
America was going to be altered beyond recognition.
According to the parable, an empty house is a dangerous thing.
America had emptied itself of God, it would not remain empty.
Others would come in tell
